It was a lot of work for like 10 seconds of break . . . but it's a heck of a break! It was actually a must-learn for me, because I love the song and really wanted to try to feel what Sam felt there.
I haven't heard that song in years but I know exactly what break you are talking about. One of my favorite all-time Sam Bush breaks also. Congrats on figuring it out!
I also remember (and like) his break on "Reach A Little Higher" where he shifts into double time about halfway through. I'm not touching that one, certainly not in this life.
